Community

Biodiversity Change research group and its members contribute to local and global scientific communities by sharing our expertise, organising networking events and providing data to open databases.
Microclimate Ecology and Biogeography conferences

Together with the MEB community we published a perspective article on the recent advances in microclimate ecology and biogeography after the first Microclimate Ecology and Biogeography conference that was held in August 2022 in Antwerp, Belgium. The second iteration was held in August 2024 in Helsinki, Finland, and the next conference will be in May 2026 in Montpellier, France.

SoilTemp network

Together with the SoilTemp network we publish openly available global microclimate data and maps. Currently, SoilTemp network consists of 100.000 time series from more than 100 countries across the globe, submitted by more than a thousand data contributors. The network is building a global database of microclimate time series and ​associated species data for use in ecology and beyond.
